This plugin addresses privacy concerns for websites that use the Gravatar service for user profile pictures. It is designed for site administrators who want to give their registered users more control over their personal data and enhance visitor privacy.

• User-Controlled Gravatar Opt-In: Registered users can decide, via their profile settings, whether to allow their Gravatar to be displayed to other logged-in users on the site.
• Default Visitor Privacy: By default, and as a core function, the plugin ensures no user's Gravatar is ever displayed to visitors who are not logged into the site.
• Universal Logged-Out Protection: This setting applies to all users and unregistered commenters; their Gravatars remain hidden from public view while the plugin is active.
• Simple Installation: The plugin is installed and activated like any standard plugin, with no complex configuration required for the basic privacy protections.
